Chapter 140 Are you pancakes? You can roll this
[Planting successful, experience value +2]

A message popped up in front of Rhodes.

He did not use cultivation magic on the seeds, but ripening magic.

So the moment the magic fell, the seed buried in the ground grew rapidly and turned into a tender sprout that broke through the soil.

"You actually have two points of experience?"

Rhodes' face lit up with joy. You know, when he planted wheat now, germination only gave a little experience, and some even gave nothing.

Two points of experience are already twice as much as wheat, which means that the level of this hundred flower fruit is higher than wheat, and it seems to have the potential to become the next large-scale planting to gain experience.

There's no need to waste time. Just increase the magic power and transform it into life energy and pour it into the land.

All of a sudden.

The seedlings grew rapidly and in a blink of an eye they became a huge grass mass that looked like a bush.

Densely packed small flowers grow on it, and small blue fruits grow at a speed visible to the naked eye, hanging from the branches and leaves.

Rhodes was stunned when he saw this scene.

"Isn't this blueberry?"

That's right!

The fruit that appeared before his eyes at this moment was, if not 100%, at least 80% similar to blueberries, which made him look strange.

However, if you look closely, you can still see a clear difference.

Especially the number of flowers, this plant deserves the name of "hundred-flower fruit". A cluster of branches and leaves that two people can hug has hundreds of blue flowers, like small lanterns.

With more flower buds, more fruits will naturally be produced.

When the flowers wither and fully mature, the bunches of hundred fruits hanging on them look very impressive and can at least fill the stomachs of several people.

When Rhodes's magic power was nearly consumed by half, the fruit tree finally withered rapidly, and all the ripe fruits were collected by him.

Then repeat the same process to ripen another seed.

By the time the spell was finished, he had more than two hundred hundred hundred fruit fruits in his hands, which he used as seeds for the first batch of planting.

"What a pity! It would be better if the consumption of ripening could be less."

Rhodes looked at the hundred-flower fruit in his hand, feeling a little regretful.

Plants that are ripened by force have no experience when they mature, but they do have experience when they sprout.

In other words, he now needs 300 experience points to level up, and he only needs to ripen 150 hundred-flower fruit trees.

However, every time he accelerated the ripening process, half of his magic power would be consumed. Even if his mental strength could sustain it, the Moon Spring would not be enough for him to consume.

"It seems that I can only play like this after my magic power and mental strength are improved."

Think of this.

Rhodes stood up and found Irene, who was "fighting for territory" with Augla one kilometer away, and gave all the hundred-flower fruits to her.

"Lord Rhodes, how come you have so many hundred-fruits?!"

Seeing the hundred-fruit piled up like a small mountain, Yilin's eyes widened in shock.

She remembered that she had just given Rhodes two seeds, so how come so many hundred-fruits appeared in the blink of an eye?

You have to know that just sending those two seeds has already taken a lot of effort from Her Majesty the Queen, and it is even more impossible for her to send so many fruits directly.

In other words.

This was grown by Lord Rhodes in a short period of time!

"You successfully grew the hundred-fruit tree?" Yilin asked in astonishment.

Isn't this amount the output of two hundred-flower fruit trees?

"Well, it only takes a few tries to grow it. It doesn't seem as difficult as you said, right?" Rhodes said curiously.

Irene: ...

Do you think what you are saying is human language?
Oh, no, it’s tree language?
It was a little hard for Yilin to believe, because she had also gone to the tribe's ethnic area to help, and it was good enough if one out of a hundred hundred hundred fig fruit seeds could germinate.

That was when the flower spirits worked hard to cultivate it.

In other words, the fruits grown from a hundred-fruit tree may not necessarily be able to grow into a new hundred-fruit tree!
This is also the reason why the hundred-flower fruit is so rare.

Not to mention trading it with foreign tribes, even the elders of their tribe had to ask His Majesty for a long time to get a bottle of Hundred Flowers Wine, so you can imagine how precious it is.

"Any questions?"

Seeing Erin standing there in a daze, Rhode became puzzled.

"No, no." Erin shook her head repeatedly. "Do you really want us to grow these hundred-flower fruits?"

There was a strong sense of expectation in her words.

Hypothesis.

She meant hypothetically.

If these hundred-flower fruits can really be grown, then couldn't she ask Lord Rhodes to give her more fruits, and then go back to make hundred-flower wine?

When she thought about herself appearing in the tribe with Hundred Flowers Wine and the elders and tribesmen running to her to beg her, Yilin's expression suddenly became wretched, and the corners of her eyes almost curved to the sky.

The weird look gave Rhodes a chill, and he thought to himself, could this guy be infected by Augla? Is his brain broken?

"Then I'll give you these seeds. I have something to do and I'll leave first."

After saying that, he ran away, as if he would be infected if he stayed here.

fortunately.

Although this elf doesn't look normal, it has experience in growing hundred fruit after all.

Soon, he gathered the tribesmen together and started planting fruits on the newly reclaimed land. He also asked the strong men of the tree spirit tribe to help build canals to improve the geology.

After the planting was completed, Rhodes had finished other things and rushed over to cast cultivation magic on the planting area.

Irene and her people watched from afar while building their own living area.

You know, in order to ensure the survival rate, they did not separate the seeds in the fruit, but planted them as a whole.

But even so, they are still a little worried about whether they can grow the crops, because their success rate using this method is pitifully low.

however.

But they don't know.

At this moment, messages were constantly popping up in front of Rhodes.

[Planting successful, experience value +2]

[Planting successful, experience value +2]

[Planting successful, experience value +1]

……

After reaching the second level, the range of Rhodes' cultivation magic doubled directly, reaching a diameter of four meters.

In just less than an hour, the fruit trees in that area began to sprout and turned into seedlings that broke through the soil.

"It's grown! It's really grown!"

"Look!"

The elves shouted, dropped their work and gathered around, looking at the growing hundred fruit seedlings in shock.

There were almost ten Hundred Flower Fruit plants planted within the four-meter area, and five of them had successfully sprouted, which was completely beyond their imagination. On the contrary, Rhode frowned slightly and glanced at the place where there was no movement.

"Only five?"

This was the first time he had encountered a survival rate of half.

No wonder Yilin said that this thing is difficult to grow. High-level plants are just different.

However, if it is 50%, it is enough for him to plant it in large quantities as the main experience crop.

Thinking of this, Rhodes calmed down and continued to cast spells on other seeds.

It wasn't until that afternoon that a long-awaited reminder finally popped up.

[Level upgrade, lv20→lv21]

……

【Demonized Tree Spirit lv21】

[Occupation: Gardener (Level 2)]

[Experience: 1/330]

[Normal: Light of Life (forbidden spell), Thorn Guard, Life Shield...]

[Occupation: Cultivation, Harvest, Ripening]

Swish!
Life energy surged into his body, and Rhodes' mental strength and magic power increased significantly.

It feels like spellcasting has become much smoother. He should be able to cast forbidden spells and ripening magic faster now.

After all the hundred-flower fruit seeds were cultivated, he turned to Yilin and said, "Okay, from now on, this hundred-flower fruit garden will be left to you to take care of. You can build a wooden house nearby and plant some flowers and plants."

"Keep it on us!"

Irene and several elves quickly agreed.

This is a hundred-flower fruit!
Hundred flower fruit!
Even in their plantations in the imperial capital, there are only dozens of them.

But now, there are more than a hundred plants in front of them, so how much Hundred Flower Wine can be produced?
And after this batch matures, they can continue to expand the scale, and then achieving hundred fruit freedom will not be a dream!
"Okay, I've decided. From now on, the salary that Lord Rhodes gives me will be replaced with hundred-flower fruits!" Erin said excitedly.

The salary was what Rhodes had mentioned to Augla before.

The general meaning is that as long as you work hard, you can share a portion of the crops with them, which can be regarded as "wages" for their hard work.

Now even those little kids who occasionally come to help can get paid, which makes her very envious.

That's right!

I'm Irene.

Aspire to become the highest paid person in the entire Dream Forest!
Yilin made a grand wish in her heart and worked even harder.

The empty land that had just been expanded was also made presentable by them, and the outlines of wooden houses, vegetable gardens, flowers and plants have already appeared.

With a large area of ​​young fruit seedlings, it is full of natural atmosphere.

In contrast.

Augla and his men were much simpler and more brutal.

Because of the terrifying vitality contained in the forest, they don't even need to do anything. They can just take root there and become a forest.

After sprinkling some oak flower and grass seeds given by Rhodes, it became their usual activity and rest area.

"Wow~"

At this moment, the sound of flapping wings was heard.

Alpha, who transformed into a fire dragon, carried back several giant ores from the Elemental Forest. He inserted them into the ground with a loud bang and directly made a giant dragon's nest.

The completely different style and unyielding attitude made Rhodes almost think he had come to a decoration exhibition.

Good guy.

You are egg pancakes, how come you can roll anything?

This lively scene made the little ones very happy.

From time to time, he would run to the elves to look at their gardens and see how they were building houses, and from time to time he would run into the forest of the tree spirits to play hide-and-seek.

When Alpha's elemental dragon nest was built, they all ran over to become rock climbers.

It’s as if this was not a living area but a playground for them, the scene is extremely lively.

Seeing that no one came to disturb him, Rhodes was happy to have some free time.

Turn around and go back to the altar to check the situation of the Moon Well.

……

Black soil plains.

Outside Crescent Canyon.

"Is this the Crescent City?"

Several orcs stood on the hillside, looking at the bustling Crescent Canyon from afar, their eyes deep and cold.

In their hands, they were holding a small piece of meteorite fragments.

He stood on the black soil without any obstruction, and was not affected by it at all.

"Yes, that's what the intelligence said." Another orc licked his fangs with a cruel expression.

"It's hidden in such a secret place. No wonder it's so hard to find. If it weren't for this thing, we probably wouldn't have found it."

As he spoke, he weighed the meteorite fragments in his hand.

"The meteorite should have been taken away by them. Do we want to just snatch it away?"

"No hurry, let's confirm the location first and then take action after we have a clear understanding of the situation." The leading orc looked at the figure on the city wall in the distance with a deep gaze, "There... there are still a lot of spare food."

Say it.

Several orcs quietly disappeared on the hillside, as if they had never appeared.

In addition, due to the dark mist, visibility was low, and the guards patrolling on the city wall did not notice anything at all and continued to patrol on their own.

And at this time.

In the meeting hall.

The five fifth-level leaders, including Brent, were having a heated discussion on the distribution of meteorites.

“My suggestion is that everyone should work together, maintain it together, and distribute the food grown according to population.”

"That won't work! If we use them together, who knows if you guys will do something tricky?"

"We the Orcs have made the greatest contribution this time, so we deserve the most!"

"Contributed a lot? What a joke. Don't think I don't know that you deliberately retreated on the night of the Black Moon, allowing our human warriors to take the lead."

"Brent, you'd better keep your mouth shut. It was obviously you who disobeyed orders and rushed too fast. Besides, we orcs always rush in the front and suffer the most losses. Anyway, I will not agree to an equal share!"

As the argument went on, the topic shifted from the distribution of life meteorites to the contributions made in defending the city.

Each tribal leader wants to get more meteorites so that they can grow more food to ensure the survival of their people.

But due to the orc leader's repeated insistence, the discussion ultimately did not produce a suitable result, and everyone left the conference hall with their guards, with different expressions.
